Only read the first two posts so far.....

I agree with waves comment, and I have read about the psychologically acknowledge 8 main emotions and then the greater range of more specific emotions, but I agree in a way with the love/fear dichotomy as well.

There may be a range of brain states that represent more than two emotions, and the feelings we get to reinforce that, but in the spiritual sense, I do believe, or at least am willing to employ the idea, that there is two basic roots of behaviour/perspective/response and those are love and fear.

IMO, fear is the opposite of love (not hate), so I appreciate where this is coming from.
